CraigFri, 16 Sep 2011 04:55:25 +0000http://flipflopflyin.com/g/?p=2828#comment-20651Thanks, Dan. So far this season Minnesota have played the least (1298.2 innings pitched), and Atlanta the most (1371.0). There does seem to be a vague connection between amount of innings played and the quality of the teams. Better teams, on the whole, seem to play more innings. It's not a direct correlation (Philadelphia have played the sixth least innings in the NL), but it's vaguely similar. Info sources: <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/NL/2011.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/NL/2011.shtml</a>, <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/AL/2011.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/AL/2011.shtml</a> (scroll down to "Team and League Standard Pitching" and sort by Innings Pitched).Thanks, Dan.

Have been wondering if there is an interesting infographic to be had with teams and the number of inning they play each year. Most obviously would be about 18 x 162. But I wonder if there are seasons when a team played a lot of extra inning games, didn't play the bottom of the ninth a bunch and had games cut short because of weather. Just a thought. Keep up the good work.Enjoy your depiction of and love for the game of baseball.
